Eight-month-old infants meta-learn by downweighting irrelevant evidence

2021-11-10

Abstract excerpt

<p>Infants learn to navigate the complexity of the physical and social world at an outstanding pace, but how they accomplish this learning is still largely unknown. Recent advances in human and artificial intelligence research propose that a key feature to achieve quick and efficient learning is meta-learning, the ability to make use of prior experiences to optimize how information is acquired in the future. Here...
